I was glad to squeeze in this visit despite the heavy downpour today. Before I even reached the said snack shop, I already know what I'm going to order, Pancit Molo and hamburger. The former to form part of my pancit Molo quest and the latter being one of the popular items, I heard.
So after ordering I chose a spot facing the wall to minimize curious onlookers during my photo shoot. As usual I took some shots around the place like their "Mega" menus and their pasalubong shelves. It came to me that time that Wewin's is just like a pioneering neighbourhood bakery that went big-time because of a famous product (that being biscocho) then decided to serve short orders (and turo-turo) as expansion of the products.
My burger and drinks arrive first and after a few minutes the waitress said pancit Molo was unavailable that time and she suggested lomi. Being curious with the lomi an old lady two tables away from me ordered, I consented.
Their burger was a dismay since it was just like the one being sold in the streets wrapped in table napkin and inside clear plastic bags. The patty looked very minute and unappealing. When the lomi arrived I was surprised to see no lomi noodles (those thick yellow ones) but noodles that looked like efuven. I chomped the burger first and to my surprise the patty was thick but buried deep down the very crunchy lower bun and it packed a lot of taste.
Efuven was the right noodle choice for their lomi since it was in proportion with the other ingredients and it gave an impression of a big order. It would have not looked nice when they used those thick lomi noodles with those small cut vegetable and meat (which I think they also use for their batchoy)
Though lomi was not what I came for but I went home satisfied. (though I was tempted to order sio pao on top of my 70 peso order.)
